History

Guttiau srl is a young and dynamic company, that specializes in the production of the “Su Guttiau” snack. Our relevant market is Italy, but the taste of our products has already crossed the borders and it is by now successful in half the world: Europe, Asia, Middle East and South America.

At the beginning of the 90s in Ardauli (a small village in the province of Oristano) we started producing a new kind of snack using traditional methods: that was immediately well-received and requests soared. Su Guttiau was the first successful experiment that created a modern product out of an ancient recipe, enjoyed especially among young people. The market kept growing and in order to satisfy the requests from our customers we needed to create a small workshop. The company kept growing.
In 2001, new formats are born: in order to satisfy the needs of consumers the Su Guttiau packaging gets bigger. In 2007 we go one step beyond and move to Tramatza, still in the province of Oristano, in the middle of Sardinia, a place more suited to release our products to the market. A more modern facility is built: bigger spaces and new production lines allow us to broaden our range up to 25 products.

Su Guttiau enters the mass distribution: the Gdo group, that operates in the Italian market and Vending allow the Sardinian snack to get exported worldwide. The flavor and taste of our products remains those of ancient times, but improvements don’t stop. In the meanwhile, our market presence grows.

On the market since 1992, the “Su Guttiau” brand was the first to be able to interpret this age-old recipe, derived from the Sardinian flat bread, carasau, then fried and salted. In this way, Su Guttiau (which means “drip dried” in Sardinian dialect) has been adapted to the needs of our times with the help modern production methods that are able to keep pace with the ever-changing rules of the marketplace. Its current packaging also meets the needs of the Italian and international Horeca and vending-machine channels, of large-scale distribution, and more.
